Great antique Staffordshire spill vase with tree trunk, figures and
gaudy decoration.
<p>This was a kind of 19th century cigarette lighter. It held a
- spill - a slow burning piece of wood, or twist of paper or rope
you could get a light off of. In the US we would call it a - punk - .
<p>The highly colorful couple resting under the tree are Greek
or
Balkan. They are both lost in thought and pay no attention to the
equally colorful swan before them.
<p>Measures (in inches) 4-3/4 x 2-1/4 x 7-1/4.
<p>Overall good condition and a great addition to any
Staffordshire collection. Some paint loss, especially on the arm
of the man (this is a very old repair). The swan head may also be
repaired, we can't tell
for sure. The extruded foliage is not perfect. No other damage.
<p>Made in Staffordshire, England in the 19thC to
commemorate the Greek revolution (1827-32) or a later Balkan
crisis.<p>Please see our inventory for more Staffordshire as well
as
fine antiques of all kinds.
